The majority of Aboriginal people live in the main cities where the intermarriage rate is very high. The figures are somewhere on the ABS site. I did a number of courses as part of my work role which would point out that the typical Aboriginal Australian lived in the city and generally had a similar life to the majority if other Australians. The areas of disadvantage, albeit severe, are more in the regional and especially remote regions.
However statistics are probably somewhat unreliable because of the fact that Aboriginal heritage is self-reported and there are no cutoffs as far as I know as to the proportion of Aboriginality involved.
I have lived in Darwin with a stint in The Alice and Kimberley and did not find inter marriage between aboriginal and White Australian at all high. Plenty of mixed marriages with Asians, though. .( Certainly nowhere approaching the per cent indicated.) Likewise in regional West Australia. I would there fore take those figures as being highly suspect.
How about places like Sydney and Brisbane which house the largest aborigional communities in the country. Oh and try using this, its a wealth of information. You will even find the name of the 4 or 5 providors that actually do give 40 year mortgages in Australia if you look hard enough.
If providing a site, how about one that actually works? I don't know Brisbane and never lived in Sydney. My assumptions are from a ground level working and living in NT (30% Indigenous population) The Kimberley WA (again very high rate with Derby, where I lived, highest in state) and FNQ. I just have not come across much racial mingling on a marriage level. One may assume with such a per cent of total population, it would be more evident.
I don't search out Google to obtain every dollop on information though. Another thought. While I agree the marriage level between Asian and White Australian, is very high, that may well be the conservative nature of our Asian population in general, and/or the fact that many are overseas based and/or studying here and more likely to be in need of PR to stay, with marriage being an obvious route.
As I said there is growing use of 40 year mortgages, which may have retreated since the financial scandals and too many mortgage salesmen's eagerness to sign up clients for own benefit.
I'm thinking that sort of inter marriage happened ages ago during the stolen generation era and shortly after that.
Marriage or sexual usage or abuse? It wasn't too long ago extreme racism was the manner of the day, with Aboriginal dealings. Would inter marriage really have been a feature of those times?
The term Australia is multi cultural has been used on this thread. What does that mean in the Australian context?
Are there really conclusions that this country is multi cultural? Or is it more a PR / wheeled out government line to use at appropriate times when suits?

Well yeah, I mean even including the abuse and other horrible things that happened, surely it would have been more common back then. Maybe not entirely legal marriages but they basically kidnapped them and forced them to live with their captors as slaves.

I know that Australia is a lot more than Sydney but I happen to live in one of the most Anglo areas of Sydney. Yet most of our friends have kids who have married Asians; our neighbours are Indian/French, the last wedding we have attended was Italian/Cambodian. Just examples.

As mentioned before, the vast majority of Aboriginals live in Qld and NSW. In fact there are about the same amount in Qld as there are in WA/SA/NT/Tas combined. And more again living in NSW.
To my observation the estimate of intermarriage seems very reasonable and in line with personal observations.
